A sensor and a portable terminal comprising the same, according to an embodiment, comprise: a substrate; a light-emitting unit and a light-receiving unit, which are arranged on the substrate at a distance from each other; a cover unit arranged on the light-emitting unit and the light-receiving unit so as to face the substrate; a first optical guide lens unit arranged between the cover unit and the light-emitting unit so as to refract light, which has been emitted from the light-emitting unit and to transfer the same to the outside of the cover unit; and a second optical guide lens unit arranged between the cover unit and the light-receiving unit so as to transfer light from the outside of the cover unit to the light-receiving unit. In connection with a proximity/illuminance sensor, the sensing range related to a spaced object is expanded, thereby improving the sensing performance.
